Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Holy Batcrap, some maniac went Rambo on a crowd waiting to see a midnight premiere in Denver, killing 14. Just what the hell?! They caught the guy. They should have kneecapped him a few times first, though. Maybe the elbows, too.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Movie was awesome. Really thought it was the best one in the series. Seeing it in an IMAX dome was mind blowing. I'm still wrecked, kept up with the news on the car ride home. Really sad that stuff happened. Couldn't believe it when I read it.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The mom of the 24 yo man that did it, lives out here in SO cal. the local news woke her up and told her what happened. Could you imagine waking up to that news or being the family of any of the victims? May have been a midnight showing but you know a lot of that audience were probably teens and younger.

Media will start blaming violent movies, video games and probably gun control and or the young man’s personal life/upbringing. Was he just a sociopath? I don’t think so. There’s been so many of these now and I fear more to come. They can’t all be the work of natural born sociopaths. While media and access to guns may not have helped, I think there’s another problem in this country, just a plain lack of empathy. It seems to be growing and I see it everywhere on the roads, at the line at the grocery store and on tv and in media and politics.

Please don’t derail a movie thread with the politics this was just a thought.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Just read that WB is considering cancelling all showings until the dust has settled over this. Not saying they ARE, they're just considering it. Personally, I respect that. It's not often a corporate beast would purposely delay profits in favor of a simple act of respect and courtesy.

Besides, even if they do delay the wide release, I strongly doubt it would hurt ticket sales.
